A few more pictures from an event we had here, couldn't decide which wheels to run so i ran 2 different sets!
Was running 185/35/17's!







and the amg style wheels








and my favorite pic! You gotta love camber!


martiepartie 15-07-2008 09:41

damn... Nice car, especially on the first pics! Nice place to shoot some pics with an European car, could be placed in a VW magazine right away!

I'd fancy the first set of rims better than the RH's, but that is ofcourse for you to decide!

Welcome.

martinus83 15-07-2008 09:53

dude, nothing mindblowing? like your style very much, awesome rims on the last pictures! keep posting!!

Thanks very much, its so nice to find people to share your passion with!
I do it for the love of the dubs!
Will get some more pictures!

peace out dubbers!

Amish Raga 15-07-2008 10:13

hey guys thanks for the great comments, here are a few more pictures back as a daily driver!
As luck would have it i poilshed my "garage" over the long weekend so my car was nice an clean atleast!
here a few pictures of our group breakfast :lol:

Details on the cars:

The silver MKI is an 2007 R line 1,8i with 272 and kit (OEM from vw - minus the stickers)
The dark greyish bluish car is my womens car its a 2004 MKI 1.4i with 288 cam (84kw) and Vr6 wheels (we fitted 280mm disks, for 2 reason's firstly new MK I brakes are still crap, and secondly here new motor is almost done we hoping for 115kw+ 2,0lt 8v mp9)
The polo is a friends car,its 2006 1,4i, it has stagged wheels and red leather retrim!
The red MK II is mine, the wheels rub on the fenders and the front lip touches if you go too fast on a bumpy road!

Meeting across the road from a friends work! How convenient! ^_^ he must have got the polo cheap!








on the road!








and first obstacle! I :wub: speedbumps!




and finally getting there! This is the parking lot! Its a small house which is converted into a little coffee shop across the road from the beach!


and stopping on the way back




also managed to get a few nice shots of my wheel while i was driving :lol:













hope you guys like them!

Cheers Amish

yes it is, it was pretty hard, but i'm running the polo injection also!
You need to go to www.photobucket.com and open an account!
Then you copy the [IMG] file (last one under thumbnail) and you paste
that into your thread! :thumbup:

martiepartie 15-07-2008 13:47

[img] url of the picture [/img]

you have to upload your picture somewhere (in the gallery of this forum, or somewhere else online).


Small remark;
I do not really like the 6N2 dash; but that may be caused by the flashy bright dails and radio. They kinda disturb the smooth LED's of the standard VW lighting.

But still, nice car!

The dash is my favorite thing in the car! Makes it feel like a new car inside :tongue:

I do want to change the guages thou! Unfortunately i can't spend more money on the red car! only once the 16v is on the road can i fiddle with it!

I forgot to put a picture of the engine! :confused:





Amish Raga 20-07-2008 19:18

just curious why you say i should be careful with it?

I know i could be a lil more careful with it! Its hard to drive slowly thou!
Coilovers and torque in combination with wide wheels really make you over confident!

cheers Amish

Tjaap 22-07-2008 00:36

i think it's just a bad translation from dutch, i think he means take good care of it, cause it's worth it.

Amish Raga 04-08-2008 09:21
